Ingredients

Doughnuts

• Baking spray with flour (such as Bakers Joy)
• 2 cups  all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 cups  sugar
• 2 teaspoons  baking powder
• 1 teaspoon  ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon  ground nutmeg
• 1/2 teaspoon  kosher salt
• 1 extra-large egg, lightly beaten
• 1 1/4 cups  whole milk
• 2 tablespoons  unsalted butter, melted
• 2 teaspoons  pure vanilla extract

Topping

• 8 tablespoon (1 stick) unsalted butter
• 1/2 cup  sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon  ground cinnamon

Directions

Doughnut

1. Heat oven to 350 degrees . Spray 2 doughnut pans well with baking spray. Into a large bowl, sift together flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. In a small bowl, whisk together egg, milk, melted butter and vanilla. Stir wet mixture into dry ingredients until just combined.

2. Spoon batter into prepared baking pans, filling each one a little more than three-quarters full. Bake at 350 degrees for 17 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. Allow to cool for 5 minutes, then tap doughnuts out onto a sheet pan.

Topping

3. Melt butter in an 8-inch saute pan. Combine sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Dip each doughnut first in butter and then in cinnamon sugar, either on one side or both sides.
